Dogs Etc.

One of the very awesome aspects of my job is the interesting people that I get to work with. Once again combining my love of photography and dogs, I recently had the chance to do some promo shots for a funky, fun and fabulous dog trainer Cindy Scott of Dogs Etc.   She needed something with a different look than the standard trainer next to dog shot, so we played with lighting and of course . . . a couple of members of her pack Bosley and Bob.   Here are a couple pix from the shoot with many, many more that are just so stinking cute!!!   Love ya Cindy!   Bosley and Bob are definitely headed for stardom.  

When I Get Bigger

When I get bigger

I'm going to get a dog like a puff dog

and  name it wafles.

I'm going to get a brown dog and name it syrup. 

I'm not getting married. 

I'm going to be a writter.

I think she has a lot of potential.  The need for creative expression runs in the family  . . . I guess.  

Pupcakes and Pet Portraits

If you know me . . . you know of my love for furry faces.  Much to the chagrin of my husband (who conveniently faked liking animals while we dated) we have our own little menagerie.  This little zoo includes but is in no way is limited to Ginger, the couch-eating-Dalmatian and Buddy the Chi-? mix from Tijuana.    They are both rescue pups who lived on the street and now rule our couch. We love them and can't imagine life without them.   Even John (my husband) adores them . . . most of the time.   He even enjoys their treats that are shaped like little realistic-looking cupcakes*, but I promised I would not blog or FB how he mistakenly consumed one of these recently, so don't bring it up if you bump into him ; )     

*Our yummy pupcakes were purchased at Le Woof Bakery in Yorba Linda www.lewoofshop.com
